LADY FROM
He stood with bow in hand as the curtain rose
Thunderous applause
It was a day that she would remember
Eyes staring straight ahead as the music flowed
From his fine thin hands
Lady from Tuscany captivated
Satisfied all his needs
Fed him with desire, held him like a child
Closer than anyone
Legend surrounds him
Fire, obsession
He had a taste for life like no other man
Overwhelming man Leader in time with public approval
Then as his gift took over his torture grew
Lady slipped away
Waits in his shadow watching changes
He doesn't notice her
Flirting with another, wishing for him
She travels far away
Legend surrounds him
Lady, his passion
Beauty followed her to a friendly field
She floats there with no cares
Mistress of the night in her precious room
She longs for her loved one
Satisfied all his needs
Fed him with desire held him like a child
Closer than anyone
Legend surrounds her
Water no fire
Lady like no other
Mad man adored her
Legend surrounds her
Water no fire
Lady like no other
Mad man adored her

Quiet lapping waves
On this gentle day
Sweet divine you came
So faintly I heard you
My hopes and dreams you carry
Inside the hearts of all the trees
Like a ship at sea
Coming for me
When the thunder came
We sheltered and prayed
In my life again
The greatest emotion
A lightness in my body
I spread my wings to fly with you
Most amazing view
Touching heaven
Through the air I see a garden
Down it's path we all must go
The pearls of wisdom
Run down my face
Caught in love
Oh as the love flows
Oh caught in this glow
Oh as the love flows
Oh so we all grow
Oh as the love flows
Oh as the love flows

When I meet you, rainy day
You were so wild, I was afraid
Then you said take my hand
We'll go to Eva's Pond
Sail away
Early morning, In Phoenicia
We had arrived
Only to find many questions there
Guard us, sleepless
In this place where love is endless and so pure, is so pure
High above here, on a mountain
Watching the world, making no sound,
We became lovers then
As night turned to into day
Blue to gold
When I meet you, rainy day
How could I know
Our love would grow with a grace so rare
Guard us, keep us
Guide us, sleepless
In this love where time is endless, evermore, evermore

Dear Landseer
We have been asked by the queen
She has heard you are the best
To capture her beloved animals for all to see
Dear Landseer
So highly thought of we agree
We know that your work is done
With love and care the Lions of Trafalgar Square
Highland Scene
Full of moody skies
A mountain stream
Heather in the breeze
You paint the land with a grace and speed
You paint a dog, a stag, a hawk, a deer
Dear Landseer
If you will honor our request
You'll be far away from weekend parties
Sketching people having fun and dancing
Dear Landseer
A view of haunting delight
Show upon a hill a place where time stand still
Her special ones will run among leaves
Highland Scene
Full of moody skies
A mountain stream
Heather in the breeze
You paint the land with grace and speed
You paint a dog, a stag, and hawk, a deer
This beautiful painting
Is now on her wall
Standing tall
Immortalized
now in oil
Dear Landseer
The veil of sadness that descended
Has been removed with this view
Dear Landseer
We thank you so much
There's no doubt you're the best loved artist in the land
There's no doubt you're the best loved in the land
There's no doubt you're the best loved in the land

Love of my life
Where are you now on this earth
Safe and secure as the deep ocean floor
You were always there
You're on my mind
Longing for you in my life
On a white horse we would ride like the wind
All the loving times
All of my love all my emotion
Always there calling me
Anytime reach out and I'll be there
And though we're far apart
We'll always have our love
We'll always be the same
So look in the sky
We share the moon and stars
For all eternity
The road is long and I am with you never-ending
We're walking along in the sunshine
Here in my heart
Floating in a gondola of dreams
You will appear as the mist disappears
I will hear our song
When you are gone
To a place in the sun
Silence is heard all the wondrous words
You're the only one
All my love and emotion
Always there calling to me
Anytime reach out and I'll be there
And though we're far apart
We'll always have our love
We'll always be the same
So look into the sky
We share the moon and stars
For all eternity
The road is long and I am with you
never-ending
We're walking along in the sunshine

If I could be here for you today
I would change all my ways
Show you how I really care
Night and day I'd be there
All the moments I wasted then
Calling you on the phone
All the things I should have said
Like how much I need you
In my dreams I think of you
Of all the things I didn't do
Can I show you now
In the morning and the night
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To have you in my life
I'd be there when you need a friend
Where you're sad I'd be strong
Holding you to keep you warm
Be there when you need me
I would turn back the clock today
I'd be faithful and true
We could be in love again
What I wouldn't do for you
In my dreams I think of you
Of all the things we didn't do
Can I show you now
In the morning and at night
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have you in my life
In my dreams I think of you
Of all the things I didn't do
Can I show you now
In the morning and at night
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To have you in my life

Around the world he traveled
To start the games that he dreamed of, dreamed of
His biggest triumph lingers
Will only slip through his fingers
He wants to feel the crowd
And be a winner
Each time he takes the step
His reason now for living
Praying silently
He's running there
Running faster
To hear the sheers
The crowd moves closer
He's getting near
A smile displays his victory
It's only for a moment, a moment
Towards the sky in wonder
His mind begins to wander
The cheers are getting near
His name he hears
But he will never fall
This is really living
Praying silently
He's getting near
His time is here
The crowd gets closer
The end is near
From childhood to manhood
He didn't seem to care
He had no time for people
He had no time to share
The biggest race of all
He wants to feel the crowd
And be a winner
Each time he takes a step
His reason is now for living
Praying silently
He's running here
Running faster
To hear the cheers
The crowd moves closer
He's getting near
He's almost here
Getting faster
His time is here
The crowds move closer
The end is here

Thousands of years
Dolphins have been here
Now they must leave us
Go to rest
You are so blessed
Voices of the Light
Teaching the world of love
Changed the tide for man
Ebbs flow
Free
We understand
We send you love
We send you on your way
Sacred in Peace
Silence brooding deep
Glorious will be
Earth and sea
We understand
We send you love
We send you on your way
Your journey home
So sweet without pain
United with man
As it was
Will again
Love

LIFE IN
Voices and music cry out to be heard
See the white horses ride out on the surf
Children will gather they live for the day
Lifting our spirits in their Latin way
Rivers and mountains the mist on the sea
All come together a patchwork of dreams
Brothers in stone always standing in line
Old southern cross luminous in the sky
Rhythm of the night in the dark lagoon
Lovers on the sand
Dancing never ends Life in Brazil
Just before midnight the streets come alive
Hearts beating faster as darkness arrives
See through silk dresses the temperatures rise
Weaving a pattern enriching their lives
Rhythm of the night in the dark lagoon
Lovers on the sand
Dancing never ends
Life in Brazil
Moonlight is waning and night starts to end
Kissing a lover embracing a friend
Ages of laughter and love in their eyes
Finger of god reaching up to the heavenly sky
Life in Brazil
Life in Brazil

I love to watch you move swaying like a child
I have always wanted to know you
Then you gave to me, the greatest gift of all your stories
Sunrise in the sky, rivers come alive
The trees will carry messages for me
Born in different lands across the highest seas
I would tremble thinking about you
Then the winter came, your tales of love remain
ice, snow, the wind and rain
As a boy he'd always heard
The meaning of life hidden in a single word
Serenading through his years
A talented man surrounded my mystery
Gather all the missing days
All the ones that slipped away
He will bring them back and not speak
Lay them at my golden feet
He gave me one thousand roses
Even before he had known my name
Knowing from when they were flying
No more the sadness that was my flame
In a time when we all dream
A weaver of words who everyone wants to meet
Will he always wish to be
A teller of tales a sower of magic seeds
We were actors in a play
Celebrate the ancient way
Listen to the songs of old
In the saddest key of all
He gave me one thousand roses
Even before he had known my name
Knowing from then we were flying
No more the sadness that was my flame
Then he gave to me, the greatest gift of all
Love
